TABLE 100

This field

Displays

Total number of
BGP4 Routes

The number of BGP4 routes.

Status codes

A list of the characters that indicate route status. The status code is appears in the left
column of the display, to the left of each route. The status codes are described in the
command’s output.

Prefix

The network prefix and mask length.

Status

The route status, which can be one or more of the following:

• A - AGGREGATE.The route is an aggregate route for multiple networks.
• B - BEST. BGP4 has determined that this is the optimal route to the destination.

NOTE
If the "b" is lowercase, the software was not able to install the route in the IP route table.

• b - NOT-INSTALLED-BEST. The routes received from the neighbor are the best BGP4

routes to their destinations, but were not installed in the IP route table because the
device received better routes from other sources (such as OSPF, RIP, or static IP
routes).

• C - CONFED_EBGP. The route was learned from a neighbor in the same confederation

and AS, but in a different sub-AS within the confederation.

• D - DAMPED. This route has been dampened (by the route dampening feature), and is

currently unusable.

• H - HISTORY. Route dampening is configured for this route, and the route has a history

of flapping and is unreachable now.

• I - INTERNAL. The route was learned through BGP4.
• L - LOCAL. The route originated on this device.
• M - MULTIPATH. BGP4 load sharing is enabled and this route was selected as one of

the best ones to the destination. The best route among the multiple paths also is
marked with "B".

NOTE
If the "m" is lowercase, the software was not able to install the route in the IP route table.

• S - SUPPRESSED. This route was suppressed during aggregation and thus is not

advertised to neighbors.

Age

The last time an update occurred.

Next_Hop

The next-hop device for reaching the network.

Learned from Peer

The IP address of the neighbor that sent this route.
